all whom it may concern;

Be it known that I, JOSEPHUS H. EUBANK,

a citizen of the United States, residing at the clamp;.and Fig. 3 'is a of one member of the clamp.

Ysleta, in the'county of El Paso and-State of Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improveme ts 1n Wire Clam v or Grips,.- of which the fo lowing is a speci cation, reference being bad therein 'to the accompanying drawing. a

My invention relates toimprovements in wire clamps or grips and; consists in novel features of construction and the combina tion .and arran ement of parts hereinafter described and c aimed. One object of the invention is to provide'a device of this character which will be of sinipl'e',-str0ng, durable and comparativel inexpensive construction, and which wil beconvenient and effective use.

The above and other objects are accomplished in the preferred embodiment of my invention, illustrated in' the accompanying drawings, in which L 1 Figure 1 is a erspective view of the improved clamp; 1g. 2 is a sectional v ew of perspective view My improved Wire gri or clamp'l7, com prises a base block 11 an a removable clamp.

.block 12. These blocks are pre ferably'of rectan ggularform and have their opposing inner faces 'concaved as shownat 13 so that at their opposite edges are formed opposing jaw's 14 adapted to bite the wire inserted between them. Projecting centrally from the base block 11 is a stud or post 15 having at its inner end a lateral or transverse recess 16 "adapted to receive the wire W so that the I latter may be cen'trally disposed in the clamp. for a purpose presently explained. The

center 0 ening infthe block 1.2 and is screw threaded at 17 to receive awinged clamp nut 18 Which latter when screwed down forces the block 12 upon the block 11 to effectually hold the wire betweeh the two pairs of jaws -stud 15 is'adapted to project through a 14. At one side or'end of each of the blocks the blocksby reaso'n'qf the notch or seat 16 in the post 15, will permit of a straight longitudinal pull uponthe wire to be stretched.

Having' thus described my invention what I claim asnew and desire to secure by Letters Patent is: j

Alwire clamp comprising a pair of blocks having their opposing faces recessed to pro- ,vide at their opposite edges opposing aws, s being' a ertured, a screw.

one of said bloc stud rojecting from the ot er of said blocks andt rough said'aperture, said stud being centrally disposed in said block and having at its inner end .a transverse recess, a clamping nut upon the outer end of said stud, centrally arranged eyes upon the adjacent ends of said blocks, a flexible element and links JosEPn'Us .H.-EUBANK.
